Conversion factor

m/s² = ft/s² × 0.3048

1 ft/s² = 0.3048 m/s²

Multiply by 0.3048 m/s² to go from feet/second² to meters/second², or divide by it to come back. The factor and every value below are computed by the same converter that runs at /convert, so this page and the tool cannot disagree.

Frequently asked questions

How many meters/second² are in one foot/second²?

One foot/second² is 0.3048 m/s², so 100 ft/s² is 30.48 m/s².

What is the formula to convert feet/second² to meters/second²?

m/s² = ft/s² × 0.3048. Multiply the value in feet/second² by 0.3048 to get meters/second².

How do I convert meters/second² back to feet/second²?

ft/s² = m/s² × 3.2808399, so 1 m/s² is 3.2808399 ft/s². The m/s² to ft/s² page carries the same table in that direction.
